Marriage
Keziah married Thomas Meadors[3][2][1], possibly around 1760-1762 (based on estimated birth dates of probable children), probably in South Carolina, where both were living at the time.
Death
No record of Keziah's death is currently known. She was still living in September 1826 when she appeared in Court in Whitley County, Kentucky to acknowledge her deceased husband's deed of sale of property to their son Pleasant Meadors and to relinquish her dower rights in said property.[4]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Keziah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Keziah:
Mobley-509 and Moberly-274 appear to represent the same person because: Many of same siblings; Moberly is preferred spelling of name in this generation; date of birth should be "about" unless reliable (based on research in original documents) source is provided.
These two profiles have more in common than not, but birth date, place, and mother are issues. Sources may be the solution. Once these are resolved, would be nice to see these merged and cleaned up.
Moberley-1 and Moberly-10 appear to represent the same person because: dates and family are all the same, part of multiple merges needed to merge 2 branches
